“Threw my Star Boss for an ace on #1! Parked my backhanded roller on #7 for a nice birdie. Hit basket #13 on my upshot. Made an 80' ft putt on #16 for birdie as well. My 3rd throw on #19 was a long backhanded roller that saved me a par. Had a couple of bogeys that I could do away with, but it was a great day overall.”

“Beat my personal best score by 1 & played along with Eric B. Missed putts for birdies on #1 & 7.”

“Fredrock Singles. It was pretty hot & humid outside today. Started on #6 & didn't hit any birdies until my 10th basket...bah. Missed at least 4-5 putts today either a tad high or a bit too low.”

“Personal best for 20 baskets!”

“Yet another personal best score. Nearly had birdies on every single basket the first 6 but missed the putt from my knee under the branches on #3 about 35ft right of the basket.”

“Threw a sweet hyzer on #20 that skipped off the middle of the parking lot & ended up just under the basket for a birdie to finish the round with DG Prof & Dan. Lost my Purple Havoc on #8 somewhere near the bridge right of the fairway...crud.”

“My upshot on #13 ended up just behind the brick wall & I couldn't see the basket, so I putted with my Swirl upside-down in my hand, while it's held up high basketball-style. After the putt, I walked to see where it went & to my surprise, I found the putter in the basket!”

“Started on #13 with the 2nd card of Advanced division sitting in a 3 way tie for 9th or so. Jumped up a spot to claim a 2 way tie for 8th with Zac after all is said and done. Still could have done a bit better than 59/60 I've scored in the last two rounds here.”

“3rd Round: Started on #14. My putter went into the creek while trying to jump-putt from about 60ft & missed the basket entirely to the right. Proceeded to miss my putt to save bogey. Also threw into the creek on #9 during my 2nd throw. Used my Star Mako and didn't think I'd throw that far with that disc, but it hit the dirt in front of the basket which didn't help either and ended up skipping into the creek. Also missed the putt attempt for bogey. Made up for that with a great 20ft birdie putt on #13 with my Pro Katana which was about even from the basket.”

“2nd Round: Started on #13 once again. A much better back 9, but threw 2 more than I did on the front 9. Scored 4 more bogeys than I would have liked & had a wonderful opportunity for birdie on #18 that came up a tad too low. It was kind of an awkward stance because my disc ended up in the shrubs, so I had to stretch and putt from one of my knee.”

“1st Round: Started on #13. My only bad hole was #15...after witnessing Ehren scoring an ace on that particular hole. But I had a bad 3rd throw & a lazy putt attempt from 10ft that hit the side of the basket, ultimately costing me an extra putt. My disc rolled away twice on my putt attempts as well, on #4 & #7.”

“Fredrock Singles. Won the back 9 $ & tied for the overall score with Jacky. Had my chance to make several putts on 9 & 19, but didn't. Would have been nice to score 57 without those 2 silly bogeys! #6 continues to get me in my 3 of last 4 times out, with 2 of them being OB's.”

“Fredrock Singles Started on #8 Blue tee. It was pretty windy & watched my disc catch helluva of a hang-time on #2's long tee that seemed like forever! As you can see, I nailed an ACE on #1 short tee with my Super Roc for $200. Didn't really care that I got a 6 on #3 after gambling on my 2nd throw, which ended up smacking the tree 40ft in front of me while attempting to thread the needle.”

“Joined up with Steve, Wayne & Geremy on #7. Started with 3 straight birdies on 2 missed putts, then got going the rest of the way except on #19 with a 6, but that's par 5. Went OB on #4 & lost my disc somewhere over the fence, possibly into that small creek or over it.”

“As usual, went OB on #6 once again, hitting the same damn tree & falling down just over the friggin fence just like yesterday!”

“Played with Eric Boger & Steve M. It was kind of nice outside & I was playing well enough to have a couple of throws lead over Boger until the final 4 baskets (18-20 & 1.) Had to skip #1 when we started since there were kids playing in that soccer field. Ended up throwing my disc into these blasted goals not once, but twice on #1! Ugh. The ominous clouds were building up when we got to #17 & it started to rain on us on #18. The winds kind of picked up in the end as well.”

“2nd Round - Silver Pins. Started on #9. This Silver layout is far easier than the Gold layout, mostly in terms of distance, but don't be fooled by that because it only takes a couple of bad throws or bounces that will send your disc away from the fairway, therefore bad & errant throws will be penalized at least 1 or 2 throws.”

“1st Round: Gold Pins. Started on #10. Started with 2 pretty good throws, then on my approach/putt attempt, my putter rolled down the hill & ended up with a 6...sheesh. Missed the next 2 putts as well. Could have done at least 5-7 throws better & I'll definitely improve on that next time around! It was the first time I've ever played this course & loved the Gold layout despite the score.”

“Weather was gorgeous, in mid 70's & NO WINDS at all, unlike the other day! Missed an easy putt on #11 that I should have made. Played back 10 once more with Eric & Jim from the red tees & scored 2-3-2-2-2-3-3-3-3-3.”

“Insanely windy as usual...about 25-30mph all through the round! Had a bad start on the first 6, but I was experimenting with this Nuke-Z that I've just put in my bag to use in this round to see if it helps me in these windy conditions. Getting to control it a bit better later on. Had a chance for 3, but disc bounced out of the basket on #20. Also on my upshot, what looked like a great skip off the path to get closer to the basket hit the concrete bench & it stopped my disc right under that bench. Played with Andy (79.) DG Prof & his wife later caught up playing odd-longs.”

“Played skitzo because I mainly wanted to throw twice off the tees on majority of these baskets to prepare for the Patapsco Punisher coming up this weekend. It sure helped because I only did 3 throws worse than this without any mulligans! On the downside....now that the Punisher's complete, my 1st round score from the short tees to the short pins was just awful.”

“2nd Round: Started on #7. Just when I thought I can make a move after having such a great start with a 3 (near-miss birdie,) 4 (great upshot that came up a bit short & hit the basket on putt for par,) then a birdie & bogey. Was doing so well on the front 9, then came #16 where I had a terrific throw off the tee. On my 2nd throw, my disc went wider than I wanted & never turned back onto the fairway for an OB, then overthrew the basket & 2-putted to card in a circle 7. It went downhill from there for the most part after that.”

“1st round: Started on #2 with eventual winners on my card! (Except John Murphy lost on the 1st playoff basket in the Open div.) Brendan won the Advanced division. It was a pretty bad round for me overall where I had a 5, 6 & 4 to start. Missing most of my putts didn't help the score either. Had a great throw on #15 & you'd think I'd usually birdie being close to the basket....but I ended up releasing my putter badly, missing the basket, then rushed my putt only to miss again. 2 turned into a 4...ugh.”

“Back 9.”

“Tied for overall best score, but won on 1st playoff hole over D2. Tied for best back 9 score with Wayne N., but gave him $3 to retrieve my disc from the pond...in which he ultimately fell into while trying to steady himself with the stick, which broke...lol”

“Front 9. Just when I thought my disc was gonna skip off the pond safely...it did, but not before hitting that PVC pipe sticking out from the surface 8ft. from safety!”

“Just when I thought I had a terrific start on teh first 2, then came these next 2 bogeys & no birdies the rest of the round!”

“2nd Round - Started on #5. Slightly better than the first round, but a 6 on #7 was pretty costly.”

“1st Round - Started on #3”

“Hell yeah, my first ever forehand ace! Played with Wayne N., D.G. Prof., Glen D., and Steve.”

“First time playing the Green Monster. A round I'd like to forget since there's practically something going wrong just about every single basket...except for #9! lol I'll destroy that score soon enough & set a new personal best score!”

“2nd Round”

“1st Round”

“Played Short tees then long tees in one round. Started on #7's long tee.”

“Played in the snow & it was a bit windy but not too bad.”

“Hit the chains on #6, then the bottom of the basket....but my disc fell out of the basket unfortunately! Also scored a birdie on #16 from the long tee for the first time. Was putting very well today & made at least 4 from around 30ft plus away.”

“2nd round: Had a much better start & played most of the baskets better than I did in the 1st round. It doesn't show on the scorecard though. Having closed out with 3 bogeys on the final 6 baskets didn't help either. I've birdied & got pars on the very same baskets the previous round. Also got my only double bogey for the day on #9. I believe that #9's basket at its current 'C' pin is par 4.”

“1st round: Went OB on #13 after hitting the metal utility pole, sending my disc onto the road. Had a bit of a slow start with 2 bogeys on the first 4 baskets.”

“Sunny & about 58-61 degrees outside with minimal winds when I started. Left at least 4-5 putts for birdies out there today, but it's a bogey-free round which was my goal for the day!”

“Threw very well up until 3 of the final 6 baskets where I've bogeyed 13 & 14, then lost my disc somewhere right of the fairway on 17. But I've hit the baskets on my upshots on #4, 6 & 8. Threw my Pro Soft Rhyno & it hit the chains dead-center on 4 & 8, but didn't stay in for a pair of nice birdies!”

“It was a bit windy the first 10 baskets (10-15mph) then settled down here and there in the back 10. Missed a couple birdie opportunities & could do away without these bogeys. Nearly had a birdie (4) on #19.”

“Played with Jen (80)”

“2nd Round: Started on #9. Several OB's once again & missed a couple putts in this round I should have made, but having 4 birdies is nice.”

“1st Round: Started on #14 where I had a birdie & was doing well until OB's on 3 of 4 baskets from 1 to 4.”

“2nd Round - Started on #9.”

“1st Round - Started on #3.”

“Played with Jen & the winds were moderate, about 10-15mph & a bit cool.”

“3rd Round. Started on #22. Not a very good final round with back to back OB's on 16 & 17.”

“2nd Round. Started on #10.”

“1st Round. Started on #8.”

“Played with my father (91) the day before the Ohio River Open weekend.”

“Fredrock Singles”

“First time playing this course with Jen & I had a few bogeys too many. Can definitely lower my score the next time I play this course.”

“Played with my father (85) & my brother (88)”

“2nd round: Much better round overall & my personal best. Missed a couple of putts for birdies, but I did manage to score my first bogey-free round on this course! Won the September monthly for Adv., as well as 2 CTP's. (Unofficially it's 3 CTP's, but they forgot to write down their name.)”

“1st round: Horrendous start on the very first basket with a pitiful 3-putt, but salvaged the round with 3 birdies on the final 4 baskets.”

“Back 9 of Weekly Singles & finished even par to go with Front 9 blue tees.”

“Saved par on #2 with about 80-90ft upshot! Finished even after playing the back 9 from the red tees.”

“Started on #5 once again. Had a slow start where a few of my upshots ended up too short or went too far. My missed putts here and there didn't help either. My forehand roller went into the parking lot on #1. My upshot attempt hit the branches & came straight down onto the road on #4.”

“1st Round - Started on #5. Had a bad roll-away on my putt-attempt on #17, which ultimately turned my birdie opportunity into a 5!”

“Played a quick round with Jen (79.)”

“2nd of 2 rounds I've played with Larry Pearce (72) & Shannon Lally (75). My putting was an adventure that day. Missed a buttload of putts to either save pars or bogeys!”

“1st of 2 rounds I've played with Larry Pearce (55) & Shannon Lally (54).”

“Started on #12. It's one of these days where I've pretty much had a rough round overall. My disc was a tree magnet & constantly found trouble away from the fairways, then there's my upshots being way off & finding trees. Couldn't even make a putt to save my life pretty much the whole round too.”

“1st Round. Started on #10 & started slow with a couple of missed putts for potential birdies, then scored 5 birdies on the first 7 baskets. #5 and the final 2 baskets (#9 & 10) really put a dent into my otherwise good round with bogeys on the final 2 baskets.”

“My disc was declared lost on #3 after my upshot throw & I had to re-throw from the previous spot. Which was later found just 25ft. from the basket!! That's a reminder for me to have a spotter down the fairway & it's an absolute must! That one basket alone cost me a potential 2nd place finish easily...what a killer. But I still finished in the cash tied for 3rd with Mr. Ginter despite all that.”

“1st Round - Started on #12 & my forehand roller right off the tee hit one of these trees, sending it in the other direction...right into the picnic shelter! Ended up with a circle 5 on that, but recovered nicely on the next 3 for 3/3/2. On #16, my disc went OB off the tee & was just less than a foot short from safe landing.”

“Crummy 18 strikes again!”

“3rd Round: Started on #3. Pretty much a terrible round where just about everything fell apart, the OB's, missed putts, finding the rough! That's a 14 throw difference between my 1st round score and this 3rd round.”

“Started on #3 (#15 thru 23 are Baskets A-I)”

“1st Round: Started on #7. Hit basket on #1!”

“6th Round: Started on #3”

“5th Round: Started on #3.”

“First time playing this nice course with Jen. Missed the blasted mando on #11 & had to throw back around that. Almost saved the bogey, instead I missed the putt to score my only double bogey of the day.”

“Played with Jen & finished in time before the thunderstorms came down in the area.”

“Played long tee on #11. First time playing this layout with the new sewage treatment plant being constructed where the original baskets of #3 to 8 used to be. Also played with Jen. :)”
